Long bed update for May 2025

Things are really growing well this year. We've had very minimal cold damage on a couple of tomatoes seedlings, but otherwise, we are pretty pleased. I've definitely overplayed. No big suprise.  
I think we may have to do something about the path. There is a bit of wear in the grass. We'll have to think on it 
Corn, broad beans and squash by the backdoor again this year. 
I brought the clumping summer squash to the front beds this year. I may regret losing pepper space. Only time will tell.
Radish are almost ready. 
We've been eating greens daily. Beastie is out there everyday grabbing biwls of crunchy lettuce and spinach. Maggs prefers spinach and arugula.
The arugula is almost ready to bolt on me. The enviromesh tents James made (last year?) Are working a treat. They keep critters out and shade the greens a bit, i think holding off the bolt a bit. 
I've popped beans in everywhere!!!! So many! I think I've six varieties of pole and runners.
The peas are climbing. I did crispy snap and pod. 
The potatoes have just popped through. I've three in each grocery bag. Hopefully these will be big enough to hill up a bit.
Pffffft. Sideways pic.... but look!!!! Luscious.  

Well, I'm off to play solitaire and have a cuppa.
